Hi Achim,

which are missing for python39 other than paramiko ?
I built the python3x-straight.plugin and uploaded it.

Skipping the doc ansible builds with python39

The latter may not actually be needed anymore, but the

Documentation requires "Tools for building the Ansible Distribution"
https://pypi.org/project/antsibull/

so I think we need only for python39 and not for all versions
ok ?
